Performance Management: Employee and Labor Rela�ons

Overview

For this milestone, due in Module Five, you will analyze HR strategic ini�a�ves of employee and labor rela�ons that posi�vely impact organiza�onal effec�veness. The three cri�cal elements

focus on employee discipline, performance management, and employee and labor rela�ons.

Scenario

For this Milestone, consider the following scenario: Assume the role of a human resources director at a U.S.-based call center that is currently based in the Midwest. The organiza�on plans to

expand their call center loca�ons in the states of South Carolina and Tennessee and the country of India and needs to hire 100 employees. Your organiza�on has been primarily hiring “local”

talent, many of whom have been rela�ves of current employees. The Midwest loca�on is union free but does not have well-defined policies to address employee issues. Addi�onally, the

organiza�on’s approach to performance management is very tradi�onal and may not reflect the needs of today’s workforce. As the human resources director, you will create a strategic HR

plan that addresses goals related to your organiza�on’s growth. The plan should have an influence across the organiza�on to be successful.

Prompt

Refer to the chapter readings and module resources to support your responses to each of the three cri�cal elements below. Carefully read and address each cri�cal element as wri�en, using

detailed and informa�ve analysis that conveys cri�cal thinking. The three cri�cal elements are aligned to the organiza�on technical competency within the HR knowledge domain.

Specifically, the following cri�cal elements must be addressed:

Employee Discipline: Compare puni�ve and nonpuni�ve disciplinary approaches, and explain their impacts on employee rela�ons. Iden�fy the steps in a fair employee discipline

process and explain the impact to posi�ve employee rela�ons in the organiza�on.

Performance Management: Determine the elements of an effec�ve performance management system, and explain how well the employer’s system meets organiza�onal needs.

Employee and Labor Rela�ons: Determine the differences between union grievance procedures and nonunion complaint processes, and describe improvements that could be made to

a nonunion complaint process.

Be sure to incorporate instructor feedback on this milestone into your final submission.

What to Submit

This milestone must be submi�ed as a 3- to 4-page Word document with double spacing, 12-point Times New Roman font, and one-inch margins. Use the latest edi�on of the APA manual

for forma�ng and cita�ons.
